Who are we and what is this all about?!@!#???

This post might be a bit long and for those of you in our Wed. night Bible study, you have heard this, but it might remind you of how God is holding you in His hand!! My name is Kimberly Bingham, I had struggled with infertility and dealt with miscarriage over the course of several years,God has blessed me with 2 of His indescribable gifts!Keep checking the blog and I will share the entire story. Anyway, about a month ago I was driving on Hwy. 11 here in Trussville, Alabama~ we were right in front of Publix~ those of you from here know that there is a young lady named Amelia Woo who was in a car accident in front of Publix in July. Anyway, I pray for her daily and she has a website that I view daily, but even though I have gone to her website everyday, I had never posted. Anyway, on this day ,I turned onto Deerfoot parkway and I heard almost audibly, "post on Amelia's website about the miracles that I have provided you," and I thought on no, not me, I am not your girl for that~ so I went about my day, and this consumed my thoughts, "tell them how I am alive and how I am always in control of my plan for each person even before they were conceived. "I still thought, oh no, but when I returned home, I posted my story of how God met me where I was when I was broken, and how He showed me that He was still alive, not sleeping, and in control. Little did I know that this was going to begin a whirlwind of being able to bring Glory to God! A lady from North Alabama e-mailed me that night and just said that she could not get over my story, etc.. she was praying for me, etc... well, she was telling other people about my story and sending them to the website. Later that night, I received an e-mail and this is when I was reminded about how smart our Father truly is: I received an e-mail from a sweet lady named Jenny~ I did not know her nor had I even met her, but someone who had no clue about her story sent her to the website and she e-mailed me to let me know that God wanted me to post on Amelia's website, not for Amelia or her family, but for Jenny, see she was struggling with infertility and was at a particularly low place, when God gave her the words from the post. Then the next day, I got an e-mail from a lady, again I didn't know her, but she needed a story for our church Women's newsletter~ so I again gave my story~ she shared this with her daughter in law who was struggling with cancer, and I was so humbled that my story could touch others~ God is good all of the time~ I still had an unsettled feeling though, so I e-mailed her back, and just asked what would need to be done to start a Bible study ~within minutes, our minister of education at Crosspoint e-mailed~ we sent out an e-mail to all women in the church to see if there was any interest and boy were we amazed. Well, we set a time Wed. nights at 6:30 pm. I was still in limbo about one thing, I wanted to make sure that when women came to this Bible study on Wed. nights that they felt safe and unlabeled~ if they wanted to keep their journey private, I wanted them to still be able to come and not feel ashamed or embarassed, so I prayed, and our minister of adults called me back, and said bad news, every room in the entire church is taken with Wed. night classes, we only have one room , it is the church office conference room and it is away from everything~ is that OK~ IS THAT OK~ Thanks Jesus~ He even wanted to take care of the smallest of details. Women began to come out of the woodwork~ some were dealing with losing their babies, others were dealing with miscarriage, some with infertility, and some with failed adoption and losing their foster children, but God is amazing and this group of ladies on Wed. nights is totally orchestrated by God Himself without question. I want to take this opportunity to invite you to join us at Crosspoint here in Trussville, Alabama on Wed. nights. 6:30pm~ you will be amazed at the bravery of these women. This blog has been started for you to share with anyone from anywhere so that they can share in what God is doing~ see, we are realizing that our purpose here is not to be a mother, but to first be the daughter that glorifies Jesus, even in the midst of hurt, pain, and bitterness. He meets us where we are, He met us yesterday where we were and He will meet us tomorrow where we will be!! This group of women consists of women with experience in adoption, fostering, and infertility. God even gave us an OB nurse practioner who I met over 6 months ago, and had no clue who she was or that our paths would ever cross again~ but see I didn't have to know because God already did. I am available 24 hours a day 7 days a week~ you can post a comment here or you can e-mail me privately. You will see posts and comments from several of the women in the Wed. night group as well. We are hoping to have some special events so if you are in the Alabama area, we will let you know and you can join us. When I was battling infertility and losing my babies, there were very few resources. It is my prayer that this blog will be the voice from God that you need to hear to help you on your journey. We will be posting scripture for you on the days that you are simply not at a place that you can search His word for your own verses, you can at least be armed with His word. Please share prayer requests either in comments or you can e-mail me! I want to pray boldly before God's throne for you!! YOU ARE CREATED FOR HIS GLORY AND HE HAS PURPOSE IN YOUR PAIN~ when you cry He cries harder, when you hurt, HE HURTS more~ you are woven and spun by Him~ He knows every fiber of your being; therefore He knows how to bring you true peace ~ the kind of peace that comes only from the Prince himself!! He is not sleeping~ no matter where you are in your journey, your Father is right beside you!! Do not feel alone~ His plan is bigger than any plan that you can dream for yourself, not only is it bigger~ it is always better, He loves you and knows you like no other~ HE adores you right now where you are!! You are on His mind constantly. See if there was noone else on the planet, He loved you enough and cared enough about your future and the plan that He has for you that He would have died for only you even if not another soul existed!! I am praying for you!!
Moment by Moment~ Seeking to bring Him glory in all things~

Hi Kimberly,
Thanks for sharing the blog with those who are not directly involved with your church or bible study. As I struggle with doubt about God's love for me I remember this verse:
"There must be no limit to your goodness, as YOUR heavenly FATHER'S GOODNESS KNOWS NO BOUNDS."
--Mt. 5:48
That verse is so comforting when it seems my plans for my life don't match with God's plans for my life.
I will be reading here often!

"Something has to come up in our lives that we cannot manage, for us to know that we are dry and need water. It is then we begin our search for the well".--Nancy Veldman

We need to be a well where women can run and fill their buckets with the abounding mercy of God's grace.

I thank God He put this ministry on your heart!
